Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 05, 2022

So they don’t have liqueur fillings?

I’m under the impression that religious fundamentalists of whatever stripe are completely devoid of any sense of humor.

Taliban Chocolate provoke a Fat-wa.

what sort of filling? pistachios?

Speaking of terrorists?

I didn’t think religious fundamentalists were allowed to have candy; after all, it makes people happy.

“I keeeeeell you!”

The infidels must die, except Pig – he’s pork.

Rat has a good point.

Aiiieeee!

A Jihad would be a little harsh for the situation. How about a Hee-Hawd?

What is that ticking sound?

You should see his car it’s da bomb…

Fundamentalist meets Pundamentalist.

A joke so bad it killed itself… end result…SUICIDE. Bummer!

Either way, he must be punished along with his creator!

Wonder, how did it get into newspapers

I hate it when I agree with Rat

taliban humor is da bomb…

Some people were standing behind the door when humor was given out.

This is different from the talibombbombs that they only give to women and children.

Rat where is your Bat ?

The tally ban prevents us from counting cartoons about religious fundamentalism.

I’d hate to see how Islamic Law might “punnish” Stephan for his bad puns.

Tasty filling from the poppy plant?

Don’t say bomb.

Nowadays, humor (American or not) is practically illegal.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is offended by this. All Pastafarians know that the noodley appendages and meatballs of their god prove definitively that Talibonbons are not as big, and therefore the Pastafarian god has far bigger balls than their’s.

Talibonbons explode in your mouth ,not in your hand

Last panel – almost snorted my tea through my nose

Actually a catchy name for a candy

I hope that’s not an image of “The Prophet” in the last panel.

I am sorry-this IS funny.

Too many people EVERYwhere being too easily offended.

According to Islamists, we are all infidels …..

Too soon.

Made from the chocolate Americans were forced to leave behind.

The candy sounds better than the puns.

I thought those were cheesy chocolates, you know, filled with Kurds. I got them from that guy whose mom was Afghani and dad was American: Kurdish Stan.

But talibonbons good!

It’s an explosion of flavour.

That would go over like a chopped off head to the demonic Taliban. Very funny though.

Not much better than the Bon-Bon Jovis made by rock musicians.

Hey Pastis, do you really want to rub salt in the wounds after we just lost a 20-year war against the Taliban? Not cool.

The guy in the turban has a family resemblance.Younger brother?

Silence! I keel you!

Not in my house!There’s a bon bon ban ban!

I thought it was funny.

Sound great!

We make Fatwa against your ars.

They must come from Kandyharhar

They tried standup comedy, but it bombed…

Better watch out, Pastis. Gocomics might hit you with a Talibanban.

Off with his head!

How about a dish of Isiscream with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and a cherry bomb on top?

I bet they leave a taste “explosion” in your mouth.

Pastis finally swings the bat after all the ‘woe is me’. By golly, he got a hit too.

Okay, this one was terrible. The worst installment yet for this strip yet.

I wanted to call the pricers in our shop the “Jolly Tally Band”……management frowned on it for some reason

I was expecting Turkish Delight.

A Salman Rushdie moment?

Gosh, couldn’t Cartoon-Boy have been one of the “Amereecans” left behind in Afghanistan?

G R O A N - LOLOL - Thanks Stephan

Hey, Meester Taliban, tally me banana…

That last panel was just the Isis on the cake…

Dang, now I crave real Afghan tea. Should have never tasted it. Sob
